Vosne-Romanée Aux Communes AOC - Seguin-Manuel

The Vosne-Romanée Aux Communes penned by Seguin-Manuel from Burgundy shows a bright, light red color in the wine glass. If the glass is held at a slight angle, a transition of color towards garnet red can be seen at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. If you give it some air in the glass by swirling it, you can perceive a perfect balance in this red wine, as it does not stand out on the glass walls in a watery, syrupy or liqueur-like way. This varietal French wine flatters in the glass with wonderfully expressive notes of black currants, mulberries, blackberries and blueberries. These are joined by hints of vanilla, gingerbread spice and oriental spices.

This red from Seguin-Manuel is perfect for all wine lovers who like as little residual sweetness in the wine as possible. Yet it never shows itself to be barren or brittle, as one might expect from a wine icon wine segment. On the palate, the texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully melting. The fruit acidity of the Vosne-Romanée Aux Communes is pleasantly mild, making this wine wonderfully smooth. The finish of this mature red wine from the Burgundy wine-growing region finally convinces with a beautiful reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets of the soils dominated by clay and limestone.
